Remember, we accept applications for one admission per injury, per twelve months and usually cannot treat both physical and mental health during the same visit, unless agreed by the clinical team in exceptional circumstances.

 

*Face to face outpatient physiotherapy at Castlebrae is currently suspended.

STEP EIGHT

You will be allocated a date to attend, normally within the following 4 to 6 weeks for Physiotherapy appointments or 10-12 weeks for Psychological Wellbeing. At times, it may be appropriate for our clinicians to suggest a later admission date depending on clinical presentation and optimal timing.

STEP NINE

Serving Officer and Police Staff admissions for residential physiotherapy is either one or two weeks, depending on which would achieve maximum benefit. Admissions from the serving workforce for residential psychological wellbeing is two weeks. Retired Officer admissions for both residential physiotherapy and psychological wellbeing is one week.
